facility. Several survey participants made com- ments about the new glass VIP/Sponsors tent and hope it will return in the future. For WIHS, this is where things get interest- ing as 75% of those who filled out our survey were completely satisfied with the venue and 21% were somewhat satisfied. Tose who were happy with the Capital One Arena pointed out how the atmosphere of a true city show is unique. One reader stated, “Having the show in
the heart of DC makes it so spe- cial!” Tose who were somewhat satisfied mainly commented on the difficulty of getting in and out of the city from more rural parts of Maryland. Only one person stated they
were not satisfied with the cur- rent location of WIHS. Tis reader said, “Te location needs to be moved. It was always bet- ter when the WIHS was located at the US Air Arena. Since it has moved to the Capital One Arena (MCI/Verizon center) I believe it has ruined and will destroy this show.”
Ticket Prices

For FHI, 93% were completely satis- fied with the ticket prices. It should be pointed out that many of our survey readers stated they got into FHI free as a volunteer or with ticket vouchers. For WIHS, 66% were completely satisfied
with ticket prices. Te 17% of those not satis- fied with this year’s WIHS ticket prices all stat-

survey participants who at- tended this year’s FHI plan to go again next year while the majority of those who attended WIHS also plan on attending in 2019. But why go back year after year? “I have attended [FHI] for the last 20 years. I love the
event.” “My favorite event of the year! Love my FHI family!” “While my husband dutifully at- tends my dressage shows, he grudgingly agreed to go to Fair Hill with me this year. He loved it! Loved the food, loved the beer garden, loved the vendors, and actually enjoyed hiking from fence to fence. He’s already committed to going back next year!” “WIHS was fun but we were all disappointed
there wasn’t more!” “I love the demonstrations [at WIHS]” “A fun night in the city.”
